Dino Michael Blackbear, the 34-year-old Covleo man suspected of a Covleo homicide on Wednesday night, remains at large in the area of Fort Bragg after law enforcement searched for him yesterday evening, as confirmed by Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Captain Greg Van Patten.

Captain Van Patten said deputies are “still searching with roaming patrols at this time as he was believed to have escaped the search area last night.”

Yesterday at approximately 5:30 p.m. a vehicle pursuit with Blackbear gave way to a foot chase in the area of the 31000 block of Chestnut Street in Fort Bragg. A shelter-in-place order was sent to nearby residents as deputies combed the area looking for Blackbear.

Also, a female was arrested associated with the incident. We initially reported that, though unconfirmed, the female could very likely be 32-year-old Covelo woman Carina Amanda Carrillo because she was reported by MCSO to have fled the scene of Wednesday night’s suspected homicide accompanying Blackbear.

That presumption was incorrect. In fact, the woman arrested in association with last night’s vehicle pursuit and the subsequent manhunt was 23-year-old Caytlin Marie Collicott, as confirmed by Captain Van Patten. The booking logs state she was arrested for harboring or concealing or aiding a “principal wanted in a felony.”

A woman using the name Caytlin Collicott posted on stories about Blackbear’s arrest that she was his fiancée.

Dino Michael Blackbear and Carina Amanda Carrillo are leading suspects in a homicide that occurred outside of a Covelo bar late on September 15, 2021. That evening an unidentified male was shot in the neck outside of the Buckhorn Bar and later died. The pair reportedly left the scene together and law enforcement has been searching since.

Dino Michael Blackbear (AKA Lincoln) is reportedly 6′, 220 pounds, and has black hair, and brown eyes. He was seen last night wearing a gray shirt with no hat nor shoes.

Blackbear has been referred to as “armed and dangerous.” Residents are encouraged to stay safe and vigilant. If he is spotted, please, get to a safe location and contact 911.

Very Sad! [edit] Caitlyn…. so very sad. A byproduct of Mendo Sheriff doing nothing to clean up the meth and hard drug dealers while they focus on asset forfeiture $$ they can steal from cannabis farmers

And how do you stop this when people choose to use it. Blaming the Sheriff for a person using drugs is stupid! Are you in on every bust, do you do anything to help? Stopping this flow of drugs at the border would make a big difference. All of the bleeding hearts,that let these “low level, non-violent” offenders out of jail could prevent this. Bet he was out on probation!

Blaming the Sheriff Department for wasting Millions and Millions of dollars going after pot… the most benign of all substance… alcohol is terribly worse.. all in the name of asset forfeiture… drugs at the border… The CIA imports the hard drugs… freeway ricky ross story… The Sheriff Department has a monetary business interest in Asset Forfeiture, so they focus on the financial incentive of money for department toys. There is land to confiscate and safes to crack, yet with hard drugs there is no money in it.. the Sheriff Department lacks financial incentive. You can stand at the borders all day long in your political mindscape, but the hard drugs like heroine are flying in from Afghanistan and Middle East on US Military planes. The Sheriff Deputies tip off their family and dealer friends when the heat is coming. The same deputies who sale confiscated pounds on the black market look after their large scale dealer friends. This girls roots go back to Wagon Wheel Trailer Park and Elm Lane apartments in Willits. Aka: Willits Ghetto as well as Holly Heights.

What’s your thoughts?

Cops and robbers, Cowboys and Indians, good and bad people, sometimes it’s hard to tell who is the source of our troubles

I’d say it’s more a byproduct of bad parenting and horrible role models

Absolutely;[edit] How many times do we see her face in the booking logs. A perfect candidate for rehab yet the face and eyes show the struggle with abuse, substance abuse, and mental health crisis.
[edit]
And another baby just arrived! Instead of covering up lets shed some light on the multigenerational disfunction of this family and how these hard drugs are harming our youth and community in Willits and Mendocino County. Lets demand our Sheriff Department focuses on the meth and heroin elephant in the room instead of just greedily looking for asset forfeiture dollars and pounds to steal.

So I’m her dad. Did everything I could. You know me? Let’s talk face to Face if you know me so well. Let’s discuss your opinion of me.. why don’t you disclose your name? I would like to figure out how you know so much about what I did as as a father!

Sometimes kids talk to their friends more than their parents.

When they end up in multiple booking fotos, intervention is needed.

Why is she out? Recently arrested numerous times on SERIOUS charges. Clearly has substance issues. Has a new lil baby she abandoned to drugs. Well now she will have some time to chew on the issues. Sad shit.

Meth is so gross. Take a beautiful young woman like this, add poison relentlessly. After a while her young body is trying so hard to eject the toxins that it’s pushing it out through holes in her face. I can’t help but think that even a brief respite from it while in jail, while miserably painful, would let her body cry in relief.
Not to mention that the whole lifestyle leads people to engage with lowlife murderers. Yikes.

Tweek (like tweekers) suck. Get a Ritalin prescription. Go to Dutch Bros or something. That basement crank gonna kill your arse. Also, the black and the tar are a one way ticket to death or fentanyl.

Don’t be to concerned
Meth doesn’t hurt getting off it. It’s not physically addictive. She’ll just sleep for a few days
It’s nothing like heroin but it does wreck lives, fast

She can probably still get her meth while she’s locked up, if she is even kept locked up.

Not true medical conditions can come while sobering from meth. And are a direct impact of the drug.

Was the murder part of the ongoing Lincoln/Britton feud? If so, I hope someone is being proactive to calm things down in Covelo.

Sad indeed.. Caytlin is my daughter.. I have worked to no end to help her through the bad situation she is in.. meth is the devil.. it’s easy fir all the outside world to poke fun and say what they want.. there is a story behind everyone.. I’m sure you all ate perfect but some are not.. please be compassionate to everyone.. it’s not easy to see pictures like this.. if anyone would like to discuss this face to face I would welcome it!

They obviously have no children or they wouldn’t be saying all that. They have no clue what a good parent is or good person at that. Your a good dad your here defending your daughter shows how much you love her. She will quit when she is ready . This might be a wake up call for her , one she might need to move on with her life . I pray for happiness for the two of you.

I’ve done it before it’s bs that they can put this out there she isn’t even convicted of anything yet and they always make it sound way worse than it even is.

Keep giving her love, but don’t enable unacceptable behavior. Keep your own life straight so you can help her if she wants it for real.
